Midnight Train

Lyrics:Phil LeshMusic:Phil Lesh

A new Phil Lesh song, written in 2001 and played with Phil Lesh & Friends

I spin around
Headlights flashing in the pouring rain
We run aground
Black lightning on the midnight train
You question me
I gesture and empires fall
Waves roll on
Through the windows in an empty hall
Ooh - blade-runner Bardo

I reach for you
Flames crackle in the dark of night
We lose the path
Leaves shiver in a silent scream
You speak some truth
Visions vanish in a flowing stream
Time slips away
Innocence in yearning flight
Ooh - shifting sands
